For this new sports trend, you don't even have to get out of bed

Girl trends are slowly taking over the world. We enjoyed a summer full of girl dinners and justified our unnecessary purchases with a skilled example of girl math, and now there is a new trend that hopefully makes you as happy as it does me: lazy girl workouts. As a self-proclaimed professional slacker, my unathletic heart skipped a beat at this news: lazy girl workouts seem to be the thing in the realm of fitness, and you don’t even have to leave your bed for it. Three cheers for whoever came up with this.

Experts are also fans of the idea behind lazy girl workouts. They point out that it is much easier to train for ten minutes at home than to commit to a full gym routine. These lazy girl workouts help build consistency and help people feel comfortable with the idea of moving their bodies. Indirectly, this also boosts your self-confidence.

What is a lazy girl workout?

A lazy girl workout is anything that requires minimal effort and can be done while watching TV, scrolling on your phone, or lying in bed. Most movements can be done on your back or side, and they are typically short workouts; they last about 10 to 15 minutes. Experts advocate for this form of movement because something is always better than nothing. These workouts are easy and low-pressure, making people more motivated to try them. Once you start building some strength and endurance, they encourage people to incorporate more high-intensity movements into their workout routine.
